Well ive just got him back from the Vets after his Xrays, the good news is his eblow and shoulder is fine, the bad news is he has HD in both hips but worse in his L hip, our vet has been great though, i cant thank him enough.

Dependant on the insurance company he'll be getting his shiney new hips in September as im off for the month.

My Poor little boy

 

[Moj]

So sorry to hear this. I didn't realise he'd been having problems, sorry I missed your earlier threads about it

What age is Rolo?

 

[xWendyx]

really sorry to hear about Rolo.

Just out of interest, was it your own vet who said he needs a new hip or have you been to a specialist?. the reason I ask is their have been a few members on here who have been told there dog has HD but after seeing a specialist they haven't!!!

Charlie's specialist isn't far from you and is definitely 'THE' best man in the area :lol: :lol:
Let me know if you want details

I`m so sorry to hear Roly had HD, has the vet referred you to a specialist? or is he one himself, I say that because some HD can be managed without intervention and it would be worth getting it checked out to be sure.

Loving the pic of the two of you together

 

[-Kate-]

Poor Rolo!
I hope all goes well for him in September

 

[_anita_]

So sorry to hear about Rolo Paul

Love that picture of the two of you, that pink puppy tummy is just gorgeous!

Hope all goes well for you both in September.

Really sorry to hear this. Hope the op goes well (make sure you see a specialist) and his new bionic hips make him an extra special lad.

 

[Jen-D]

So sorry to hear that Rolo has HD, hope his op goes well in September & he has a speedy recovery,

 

[_Linda_]

So sorry to hear that Rolo has HD I would go with Wendy's specialist, he sounds fab and hope your boy has his new hips and is on the road to recovery very soon

 

[Nealy]

Rolo is 2 1/2, Its the Vet who has stated he has HD, and we worked as a consultant.

He said he has a nmber of specialists, one in Northampton and one in Liverpool, but we want the best we can afford.

Wendy, if you could send me the information it would be much appriciated

 

[_Laura_]

So sorry to hear this Hope you find yourself a nice speacialist. x

Charlie's specialist is called Graham Oliver.
His practice was at Buckley House in Hucknall, North Notts but he now has a new practice for referrels and MRI's etc. It's still in Hucknall but not at Buckley House (that's still Graham's but is now a 'GP' vets). It's on Nottingham Road and is called 'East Midlands Referral Ltd'.
The phone number is 0115 9274458

I honestly can't recommend them enough - good luck

 

[_Sam_]

oh no. Has he always had issues with his hips? 2 1/2 is quite old to be diagnosed isn't it?

I know Marie (mrsm) would second wendy's recommendation. Her choc bear Baxter has been treated by graham and his team and he's doing fab.

massive hugs to rolo

 

[xWendyx]

oh no. Has he always had issues with his hips? 2 1/2 is quite old to be diagnosed isn't it

I thought that too Sam, that's one of the reasons he should see a specialist to get a proper diagnosis. It seems a bit odd that he's reached 2.5 with no problems and now his hips are bad enough to need replacing. Usually hips that are that bad show up much younger

 

[_Donna_]

so sorry to hear that about Rolo, hope the treatments he requires goes smoothly

 

[Luna-Tuck]

Poor Rolo!

I was ready to zoom Luna up to Wendy's Graham if our new vet had thought she was having problems. (He didn't ) I wouldn't have thought it's too far away from you even without the blue lights!

Let us know how he goes. Luna was looking forward to having a run around with him in Sept

Thanks Wendy, he hasnt really shown any signs before, il get him into the specialist and see what he says

Our vet is going to ring Graham, as thats who he recommend!

The only issue we have now is that he thinks the insurance company may try and screw us over as he has been before with lameness in his back legs, but our vet is going to do what he can to sort us out

If anyone knows him, Paul Adams at Springwood vets in Burton on Trent, i HIGHLY recommend him!

 

[Bella85]

O dear!! so sorry to hear about Poor Rolo!

Hope it gets sorted out for him!! Big hug to you!
